The central circular vignette bears the national coat of arms of Trinidad and Tobago, surrounded by an ornate lathe-work border, with the denomination numeral '10' in rosette frames at each corner. A single Governor's signature appears at lower right, with the serial number printed twice in the upper right and lower left fields. |

Bradbury Wilkinson's contract work for the Caribbean was extensive through the 1970s, and Trinidad and Tobago was among their more consistent clients. This 1977 issue belongs to the second series produced by the Central Bank following the institution's establishment in 1964 — the country had only gained independence in 1962, and building out a distinct currency infrastructure took the better part of a decade.
Pick 32 is not scarce, but watermark-only security was already considered minimal by the mid-1970s, even for regional issuers. The note predates the introduction of security thread into the series.
